The St. Laurence Vikings are taking a road trip to take on the Lyons Lions at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (St. Laurence has five straight victories, Lyons has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
St. Laurence had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt Oak Forest on Saturday.
